Like many artists, there are times when I am extremely overjoyed with my work, and other times when I know in my heart that something simply did not work. Such was the case with this painting.
Originally I wanted to create a clean graphic (silhouette) image of a pair of headphones. I thought a painting would produce the results I was looking for; however, me being quite rusty at painting, produced this less than desirable result. While this attempt came out okay, it wasn’t quite what I was looking for.
What is a man to do?
Well, I repainted the canvas several times, ending up with this image. This is much closer to the original idea, and has a lot of the elements that inspired me during my recent trip to San Francisco.
It’s great to now have something I truly enjoy. I learned that ideas take many forms, and that they take time to correctly communicate. Here’s to more great art work, and many more mistakes. J
